In other words, it’s the new normal for this year: several calls that didn’t result in intakes, and the same crew as in past weeks: the vultures, the sharpie and the great horned owl.
The sharpie has placed himself on a diet, eating next to nothing over the past week. Guess he’s trying to get back down to flight weight ASAP. Fortunately, everything he doesn’t eat can be recycled to the vultures, who aren’t exactly picky about their food.

The great horned, after perking up a bit, took a downward turn late in the week and isn’t looking great at the moment. Head trauma can be tricky.
And the doofuses—I mean vultures—are, well, doofusy. It’s a vulture thing. No loss of appetite on their parts, that’s for sure! The younger, newer one actually seems to be losing his down and feathering out more quickly than the older one did, so I’m holding off releasing the older one till his younger pen-mate is also ready for release. The buddy system is always best when possible.
